San Pablo Police Seize Unregistered Firearms from Oakland Juvenile During Traffic StopSource: San Pablo Police Department

Last night's routine traffic stop quickly escalated as San Pablo police uncovered unregistered firearms in possession of a juvenile. The incident was detailed in a social media post by the San Pablo Police Department, which described how Officer King noticed a car driving erratically and proceeded to initiate a stop. According to the department's account, a nervous 15-year-old Oakland resident was found in the vehicle, fidgeting and eventually revealing an extended magazine partially hidden by his backpack.

Further investigation led to a distressing discovery as Officer King and his team retrieved two unregistered guns, one reportedly ready to fire with a 30-round magazine. The juvenile was safely arrested and brought into custody before being released to their parents.

The San Pablo Police Department posted, "Not sure what these kids were up to last night, but whatever it was, it wasn’t going to happen in our city!"
